Diet Stuff

Breakfast: 1/2 Taco Time Ultimate Burrito
Lunch: Terrible Frozen Lasagna
Dinner: Jack In The Box Chicken Sandwich, French Fries, Jalapeno Poppers and two tacos

Gym: None, 33.5 miles total

Clean: None

Yesterday and today combined to reinforce my deteriorating resolve regarding food that had been dealt a staggering blow by the Red Robin Cheeseburger of days passed.

The burrito was okay, took me two days to finish it.

The Lasagna was TERRIBLE.

The Jack In The Box was exactly the type of food that I think of when I think about how much I really don't care for food at all - it had a pleasant mix of salt, fat and crunch, but the buns were dry, the meat was flavorless and it all left an oil slick in my mouth that never went away.

This morning I picked up all the excess baked goods from Starbucks for the Glean, and really NONE OF IT even looked slightly appealing. I've tried it every one of them and I know that none of them live up to the visual hype.

I think I'm over it. Or at least I *will be*, as soon as I have some Sushi. I frickin' LOVE Sushi :)

We have a love/hate relationship with something so essential to our lives. Growing up, mixed vegetables were a frequent dinner item. It wasn't because we all liked it. It was because we all hated something in the mix. Lima beans were the bane of my existence. My sisters hated green beans and the peas. My mother didn't want to be accused of favoritism. Of course, it could have been because we ALL flat out refused to eat the brussel sprouts Mom liked. Once we turned 18 and moved out, we could decide for ourselves what to eat.

I long ago decided to only eat the things I like. That way, if I die because of something I eat, I will at least enjoy it.
